Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven c, og'nm 4hoo 20r. ou
Before a Clean Cycle
We recommend venting with an open window or using
a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle.
I. Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, atl coolovare
and any aluminum foil from the oven--they cannot
withstand the high cleaning temperatures.
NOTE; Take the shelves out of the oven before you
begin the self-clean cycle.
2. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom° If you
use soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning to
prevent staining.

Do not use abrasives or oven deaners. Clean
the top, sides and outside fi:ont of the oven door
with soap and water.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket the fiberglass
material of the gasket has an extremely low resistance to
abrasion. An intact, wel!-fitting oven door gasket is
essential for energy-efficient oven operation and good
baldng restdts. If you notice the gasket becoming worn,
frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become
displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.
4. Close the oven door and make sure the oven light
is off. If the oven light is not turned off, the life of
the bulb wiU be shortened or it may burn out
immediately. The door latches automatically after
the clean cycle is set.
CAITHON: The grates and drip pans (on some
models) should never be cleaned in the self-
cleaning oven.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven
protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.
A combination of any of these products plus the high
clean cycle temperatures may damage the porcelain
finish of the oven
$. Clean spatters or soil on the oven front fim'ne and the
oven door outside the gasket with a dampened cloth°
The oven front frame and the oven door outside the
gasket do not get cleaned by the self-clean cycle. On
these areas, use detergent and hot water or a soap-
filled steel wool pad. Rinse well with a vinegar and
water solution. This will help prevent a brown residue
from forming when the oven is heated_ Buff these
areas with a dry cloth. Do not clean the gasket.
